Be Courageous

Name Date

Read the Story

Nahash king of Ammon died. David wanted to show kindness to his son Hanun, because Nahash had been kind to David. So David sent messengers to comfort him.

Hanun's princes told him David's men were spies. So Hanun shamed David's servants and sent them away. David told the men to stay in Jericho until their beards grew back.

Ammon hired Syrian armies to fight. Joab and Abishai his brother made a plan to help each other. Joab said to be courageous and strong for God's people, and to let Yahweh do what seemed good. The enemies fled.
